Icaros Desktop is a pre-configured AROS desktop environment for the PC platform, distributed on a bootable live media. The AROS Research Operating System is a open source lightweight, efficient and flexible desktop operating system, aiming at being compatible with AmigaOS 3.1 at the API level, while improving on it in many areas.

If you can't boot Icaros and the process stops after the red pointer appeared on the screen, please do as follow to fix the issue:

- turn on PC- choose a resolution from Grub's menu but DON'T press Enter- press 'E' instead- move cursor after "ATA=32bit" and change it either to "ATA=nodma" or "ATA=nopci" (depending on what it works for you)- press Ctrl+X to continue booting

If booting has success open /boot/grub/grub2.cfg with the AROS editor, search for the "ATA=32bit" string and replace it with "ATA=nodma" or "ATA=nopci". You can do this easily, using the 'replace' option in the 'search' menu of the editor.
